The Boy and The Apple tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by, the little boy had grow up and he no longer time played around the tree everyday.

One day, tho boy come back to the tree and he looked sad .

“Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.

“iam no longer a kid, I do not play around trees anymore,” the boy replied, “I want toys, I need the money to buy them,”.

“Sorry, I have no money, but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money,” the tree apple’s said.

The boys was also excited and grabbed all the apples on the three and left happily. The boy never come back after he pick all the apples. The tree was sad.

               One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited.

“Come on, play with me,” the tree said.

“I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need the house for shelter. Can you help me?” ask the man.

The tree said, “Sorry, I don’t have any house. But you can chop off my branches to buil your house,”.

So, the man chop off the tree’s branches and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy, but the man never come back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

               One hot summer day, the man return and the tree was delighted.

“Come on, play with me,” ask the tree

“Iam getting old. I want to go sailing to reax my self. Can you give me a boat?” said the man.

“Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy,” the tree said.

So the man cut the tree’s trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

               Finnaly, the man returned to many years.

“Sorry my boy, but I don’t anything for you anymore. No more apples for you to sell, no more branch for your house, and no trunk for you make a boat…” the tree said with sad feeling.

“No problem. I don’t have any teeth to a bite. I was have a house for my family, and I too old for sailing anymore,” the man said.

“I really cant give you anything. The only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.

“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. Iam tired after all these years,” the man replied.

“Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on the rest. Come, come! Sit down with me and rest,” said the old tree.

The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears …

This is a story of everyone. The tree’s like our parents. When we were young, we loved to play with our Mum’s and Dad’s. when we grow up we leave them. Sometimes we forget them with our busy and only come to them when we need something and when we have a trouble. But, no matter for our parents, they always be there and give everything they could just to make us happy.
